Well, I ate a power bar, drank some coffee, and meditated. Now I'm less murderous, but still pretty damp.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

DeVos confirmed. Pence cast the deciding vote.
If we can't turn her back, then he's going to get his full cabinet of atrocities.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I want to set something on fire.

I even expected DeVos to be confirmed, and I still can't believe how much rage I'm feeling right now.

Our wings are not tired.
I want to set something on fire.
Don't need to. They are burning it all down. At this point they are going to appoint completely unqualified and incompetent people to all positions in government. Upside, they shouldn't be able to get anything done?
My rage level is off the charts, but my fears are more with the court appointments because they are the only ones that can stop the madness.

It occurs to me that now our kids will have the literacy level of the current POTUS (who, I'm more and more convinced is actually functionally illiterate, and I'm not joking).

My one, slim hope is that DeVos won't be able to navigate the bureaucracy any better than Trump, and the Department itself (which probably has a lot of competent, dedicated people in it) will be able to slow her roll.
